Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have received great interest due to their unique porous structures, large surface areas, well-defined pores, and versatile applications. Recently, the applications of MOFs in energy fields such as catalysis, fuel cells, batteries, supercapacitors, and others have experienced a new surge of interest in both chemistry and material science. Research on the various applications of MOFs has shown that they are promising porous materials for clean energy-related technologies. MOFs have been used as support substrates for accommodating metals and complexes, etc., and they have guest functionalities. Furthermore, MOFs can be used as sacrificial materials for the generation of various nanostructures for energy applications. Leading the research on MOFs for energy application is of great importance for the development of modern science.
This Special Issue aims to present the latest results from research on the development of MOF materials for energy applications. Key research topics include, but are not limited to, the following: the production, characterization, properties, and application of advanced MOF materials.
We encourage you to share the results of your work with the readers of Molecules. We look forward to receiving original, high-quality research papers, communications, and review publications.
Dr. Xiaoming Lin
Guest Editor
Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Molecules is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2700 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
